Tru by Hilton Raleigh Durham Airport

The bed was comfortable, breakfast was good, and the staff were great. Kayla C. and Tara were especially good, and I’d like to recognize them. It’s a modern, fun hotel, though I prefer more traditional places. If I were younger and more fun, this would be a great place to stay.

The airport delay made this place a perfect fit, and the location is ideal for the airport. The free shuttle is a huge plus. Tara, the driver, was patient and welcoming even though we were her last ride of the evening. The hotel was clean, though the bed frame could have used a wipe or dusting where the mattress sits. Otherwise, the stay was great. The young woman at the front desk was sweet and helpful. I’m annoyed I didn’t get her name.

We got the quiet room we wanted and slept well. The air conditioning and heat made enough white noise that we didn’t hear neighbors, planes, traffic, or anything else. The hotel is right by the airport. We didn’t take the shuttle, but saw it arrive promptly for other guests. The room was small but clean, smelled clean, and had the usual amenities. The bed was comfortable, though the pillows were just okay. Check-in was easy, with friendly, quick, kind, capable front desk staff. Breakfast was just okay, but it was free and had the usual options. We wanted a hotel that worked without problems, and this one did. We’ll be back. Across the street is Cheetah’s, which has “spicy” entertainment if that’s your thing. If it isn’t, it’s easy to keep to yourself. We wouldn’t have known it was there without the sign. It was very quiet, with no wandering ladies or seedy traffic.

Everything else was great during the few hours we slept. Tryphena went above and beyond at check-in, being so kind, friendly, and informative. She even moved her vehicle to make a parking spot for us. Heather was lovely and sweet at check-in too, and especially wonderful at checkout. Not many people are kind and friendly at 4 a.m.!
